Special Delivery: Stork Cakes

February 6, 2016

The fairytale of the stork bringing a new baby to the family is one we all grew up with and is an enduringly favourite theme for baby shower cakes. This week we have a selection of the most beautiful stork cakes for baby showers from the simple and pretty to incredible 3D creations.

Rouvelee’s Creations has designed one of the prettiest stork themed cakes of the last few years (above), one that has been replicated many times by admirers the world over (image by Arnaldo Ilagan).

Keeping it simple when it comes to baby cakes and children’s cakes often produces the prettiest results and the beautiful stork cake below left by The Marbeca Bakery demonstrates this perfectly, with a blue sugar umbrella adding a jaunty touch to this stork cake topper.

Simplicity is again key in this stork baby shower cake below by Stylishly Sweet, Australia.
